Flowers are lovely;
love
is flower-like;
Friendship is a sheltering tree;
Oh the joys that came down shower-like,
Of friendship,
love
, and liberty,
Ere I was old!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Would not the child's heart break in despair when the first cold storm of the world sweeps over it, if the warm sunlight of
love
from the eyes of mother and father did not shine upon him like the soft reflection of divine light and
love
?

France, for example,
loves
at the same time history and the drama, because the one explores the vast destinies of humanity, and the other the individual lot of man.

And then, of course, so many of our little lot seem to be running
love
-affairs. And a continual atmosphere of hectic passion is very trying if you haven't got any of your own.

Love
must be learned, and learned again and again; there is no end to it. Hate needs no instruction, but waits only to be provoked.

Happiness, for you we walk on a knife edge. To the eyes you are a flickering light, to the feet, thin ice that cracks; and so may no one touch you who
loves
you.

It seems to me like this. It's not a terrible thing — I mean, it may be terrible, but it's not damaging, it's not poisoning, to do without something one really wants. It's not bad to say: My work is not what I really want, I'm capable of doing something bigger. Or I'm a person who needs
love
, and I'm doing without it. What's terrible is to pretend that the second-rate is the first-rate. To pretend that you don't need
love
when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better.

The Spirit is
Love
expressed towards man as redeeming
love
, and the Spirit is truth, and the Spirit is the Holy Spirit. Redemption is inconceivable without truth and holiness.

The trouble with music appreciation in general is that people are taught to have too much respect for music; they should be taught to
love
it instead.

Boychick, wake up! Be something! Make your life something good. For the
love
of an old man who sees in your young days his new life, for such
love
take the world in your two hands and make it like new. Go out and fight so life shouldn't be printed on dollar bills.

To be sure, the response of faith to revelation, which God grants to the creature he chooses and moves with his
love
, occurs in such a way that it is truly the creature that provides the response, with its own nature and its natural powers of
love
.

Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not

To

I feel an intense intimacy with those who have this loathing interest in me. Further than this, I know what they mean, I sympathize with them, I understand them. There should be a name (as poetic as
love
) for this relationship between loather and loathed; it is of the closest and more full of passion than incest.

... don't wait for the good woman. She doesn't exist. There are women who can make you feel more with their bodies and their souls but these are the exact women who will turn the knife into you right in front of the crowd. Of course, I expect this, but the knife still cuts. The female
loves
to play man against man, and if she is in a position to do it there is not one who will not resist. The male, for all his bravado and exploration, is the loyal one, the one who generally feels
love
. The female is skilled at betrayal. and torture and damnation. Never envy a man his lady. Behind it all lays a living hell.

A country of a thousand war-chariots cannot be administered unless the ruler attends strictly to business, punctually observes his promises, is economical in expenditure,

Any man who can write a page of living prose adds something to our life, and the man who can, as I can, is surely the last to resent someone who can do it even better. An artist cannot deny art, nor would he want to. A lover cannot deny

If with

If thy

Hide thy grief within thy breast,
Though it tear thee unexpressed.
